London police said they had made 218 terror arrests this year and were removing as many as 1,000 pieces of illegal Internet content a week amid a growing domestic threat from the Islamist uprising in Syria and Iraq.

Officers “are running exceptionally high numbers of counter-terrorism investigations, the likes of which we have not seen for several years,” Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said in a statement released by the Metropolitan Police.
